    Yes, and then I'll get a full-time job. I need to make a statement that her trying to control my every decision is unacceptable.

      if you don't play your cards right, it could be four miserable years. I suggested this earlier, but I'll say it again: Why not look at a branch campus of a major university? They generally have lower academic standards for admission and are a lot cheaper. My brother went to a branch campus for a year then was able to transfer to the school he really wanted to go to in the first place. Was he happy that first year at the branch campus? Not really, but he said it was worth it.

          hahaha yup. If you are still in school and are complaining about being bored I feel no sympathy for you. Wait until you work full time. I yearn for the days when I was "bored". I get enough time to play video games right now, but even when I'm playing games I still am doing work stuff, checking and sending emails and preparing documents that I'll need to work on the following day during loading screens or when I'm waiting for a room to fill up when playing online.

              If this was a normal situation, I'd consider it, but this is more than that. I need to do whatever possible to show my mom that her behavior is ridiculous and won't be tolerated.

                You seemed just as stubborn as her, and in the end both of you will lose.

                  Well, it's all up to my financial aid forms, and I'll pray every day until it comes.

                  Question though...my mom said that if I don't find a co-signer by today, she's taking her deposit money back. I know the deadline to file is May 1, but do you need a co-signer by then? I thought that you only needed them for private loans, which you didn't need to apply for yet.

                  In other news, I was smoking a stogie with my room window open, but the wind was blowing in towards my room and now my whole room smells like smoke. Woo.

                    I don't know your entire situation but it seems to me you are being a bit petty. Make amends with your mother and get on with your life. One day she wont be there for you to blame everything on. Then you will see how much she really does for you. Grow up and move on before it's too late for you to be able to apologize to the woman who brought you into this world.

                        Not seeing what I should apologize for. If anything, she should be apologizing to me.

                        You don't drag someone through all that only to drop the bomb at the very last minute possible.

                        The thing is, BG was my backup plan, and I have no "backup backup" plan. I'm sure I posted this at some point, but Ohio U. was my "dream" school and was the one I really wanted to go to. I only applied to BGSU after I was rejected by OU.

                        Before I did, my mom asked me if there were any schools I wanted to apply to since I didn't get into OU. I said BGSU, she said no problem. Why not just stop it there so I had time to do something else? Why put me through hell?

                          My point is your mother only wants the best for you and knows you better then you know yourself. Take the lead collar and let her guide you in the right direction. You only get one mother, cherish the days you get to spend with her because, sooner rather then later you wont be able to enjoy that time. She's looking out for you rather then trying to keep you from what you think you would be happy doing.

                            I understand that, but I think I need to find out what's best for myself, by myself. I feel like I've been so sheltered and catered to in my childhood, I want a chance to get away and do things for myself, make decisions by myself, and know what it's like to be independent.

                              That's great. Seriously that's great. But, if you don't want mom's advice don't expect mom's money either.

                              I would gladly give everything I've amassed thoughout the last ten years (houses, cars, boats) for just 30 seconds of conversation with my mother. When she passed it took over a year for me to get on with life. Don't make the same mistake I did. You only get one mom, love her like she's the only one you get!
